Starting March 1, the Beijing Municipal Air Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the 'Regulations') came into effect.
From midnight on March 1, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau organized the city's environmental enforcement forces to carry out the 'Zero Hour Action,' a citywide special enforcement inspection on air pollution prevention and control, officially launching the comprehensive implementation of the Regulations for air pollution prevention and control.
The special enforcement inspection focused on coal-fired boilers, conducting surprise inspections of units where problems had been found in previous inspections. The inspection targets were concentrated in key industries such as coal-fired boilers, concrete mixing plants, petrochemicals, and catering.
The inspection found that five enterprises in Tongzhou, Changping, and Huairou had illegal pollutant discharge behaviors, manifested as failure to take measures for material piles, incomplete environmental approval procedures, failure to install online monitoring facilities, and excessive emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
The inspection team put forward preliminary handling opinions and planned to file cases for investigation and punishment.
According to the plan, from April to December this year, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau will also determine one to two industries or fields each month to carry out special rectification based on public reports, seasonal characteristics, and prominent air pollution problems found in routine enforcement.
For units found violating the law during special inspections, Beijing will impose penalties in accordance with the Regulations, promptly expose them through the media, and include them in the enterprise credit system, imposing restrictions in areas such as green credit and listing verification.
